Was only messin daz, fair play to you.

A "Rich Tax".........I like it Daz.  
Do you lure these rich customers in with the promise that you will use a Super-Lite Xtreme pole to clean their windows complete with Aquadapter and Xtreme Medium Mixed Bristle Brush?  
Lucky buggers........

[dazmond]

i wash all frames,sills,doors as well as glass,garage doors,velux windows(i have to get the extreme 47 out of the van for em).yes £50 an hour is good but i earn £60 an hour on some other work closer to home!!(commercial).

i havent got loads of this type of work!(im trying to get more though).

i spent years with a large underpriced round when 100% trad and earned next to nothing and just about scraped a living together for many years!i also had debts.thankfully i worked hard and paid em off.(took me over 5 years though!)

the last 4 years have been different though with a fresh positive attitude and of course WFP.

MY ROUND HAS JUST GOT BETTER AND BETTER OVER THE LAST 4 YEARS but plenty of room for improvement still.


very best wishes to you all

Too busy to give a poop what the weathers' doing up until Xmas. Rain tomorrow... just got to put me waterproofs on as I'm determined to catch myself up by next Friday.....I can do it if I work regardless of weather and customers will expect it this time of year if they want their windows cleaned for Xmas

Dazmond,

dont worry about being undercut on those type of houses, from experience they wont change, they are happy to pay that and wouldnt run the risk of hassle from someone else, they dont really need to save money just want it done right first time.

I have never had one cancel on me, and we do some fairly big priced houses 

[Dave Willis]

Dazmond - what poles have you got?

[PoleKing]

Dazmond - what poles have you got?

All Harris poles & gaffer tape.

Fair play daz


I have lots like this and charge around £55-60. Can only manage 5 max a day though !

[8weekly]

Those ones that Ian101 posted are 1/2 hour jobs at most assuming no conservatory.

[Tony Edwards]

Not if you do them properly !

Are you on ladders?

On an 8 weekly frequency on a fairly quiet road that is a 30/35 minute job on a high flowrate from pulling up to pulling away. I am guessing about 20 windows including two patio doors. On a first clean/one off I would say an hour tops. I have a cul de sac with three like that. It is 90 minutes tops and I charge £30 each. I have had two of them for three years and one for a year. No complaints.

Being "fussy" is not doing a job "properly". I doubt I achieve perfection often and I doubt you do, but I leave clean windows and frames. That job would only take me an hour if I scrubbed and rinsed beyond that needed to do the job properly.

Bully for you

[paul ette]

Half hour job, 45 with a big conny, or am I doing a rubbish job

[dazmond]

i did say they have large conservatories and some with velux windows that i need my 47 footer to reach plus garage doors washed down every time.

[paul ette]

To be fair garage doors take a bit if time, i never really offer that in my service, maybe I should

[gary999]

by daz description i would take close to a hour if the customer
was around, at £50 a hour why shoot myself in the foot at those rates
trying to get away as soon as poss.
